Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, Minister Claude Béchard of Quebec reaffirmed his position that the federal government should hand over the funding earmarked for child care with no strings attached. The Minister of Social Development, on the other hand, felt it was too soon to be talking money; he was still at the stage of discussing principles.
When the minister says it is too soon, are we to take it that he is questioning the Prime Minister's commitments and that there will be strings attached to the money that goes to Quebec for child care?
